I'm not sure if I've run into these people, but it seems like I have... level 35-40 Shadowknights who have no idea how to keep aggro, Monks who don't know how to Feign Death. The list goes on and on and on, it's really sad actually.

Theoretically, if you had enough money to powerlevel you to thirties, you would at least have some idea about simple game mechanics.

Although, I did run into a Monk who said his sister gave him 250,000, he was around level 20 with all the best possible gear, and had no idea what he was doing.

it doesn't but it's something that is made up to be a sterotype in order to convince kids that the police always get their bad guy, when it is in fact not the case.

Easy fix, MySQL query to toon with max plat and toon with max level on the same account, and interrogate those people with seriously misaligned results. Although, now that I look at this, it looks Nazi-esque.

Just wondering, are you having Uthgaard's baby or what?

I have bought gold in every MMO I have subscribed to except UO and have never been banned for it.

Since there is no burden of proof though, on this server, the powers that be can ban people at their whim so you take a bit of a bigger chance buying/selling here. With that said, who really gives a fuck if they get banned, IT'S A FREE SERVER!

A fee for service has nothing to do with still wanting to play on the server.

Cost on the individual does not negate the total cost of, nor potential legal obligations in unlicensed 3rd party transactions.

I am bored . . . .

Money Laundering on P99 is a dirty business.

Lesson 1 - business of banks (bob)
"farmer" rmts pp to "buyer"

'farmer' gives pp to 'ecunnel tunnel escrow trader' (for lack of a better acronym lets call this "bob")

"farmer" tells "bob" brb on "buyer"

"buyer" collects pp from "bob"

Lesson 2 - the sleeper cell
"farmer" creates new account with char called "100kplat"

"farmer" transfers 100k pp to "100kplat" (using bob or a trusted and unsuspecting friend to transfer pp)

"100kplat" sleeps for a month

"farmer" rmts pp to "buyer"

"farmer" delivers pp by providing account info of "100kplat" to "buyer"

Lesson 3 - the EC rip off
"farmer" rmts 10k plat to "buyer"

"farmer" tells "buyer" to meet in EC Tunnel and auction a random 1k item.

"buyer" auctions WTS - Diamond

"farmer" tell "buyer" i will buy your diamond. "buyer" replies 11k @ T1.

"farmer" puts 11k in trade window, "buyer" puts diamond in window and hits trade.


You can put in as middle men into these transaction as you have the time for. further diluting the pp trail. all the time using various ip proxies.

you can break up the pp denominations of tranfers as well. since i doubt "bobs" have any reporting requirements when people dump plat for transfers.

Um.... spending real life money to purchase in game money. Then getting banned and the money spent is wasted. Let me see... why would somebody be upset about that.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
